Im exactly in the same situation. Moved out of CT in 2004 and couple days ago i received amount due of 950.44 inc principle, interest, collection fee, etc.
Sad thing is, I registered my car in VA on 10/05/04 even though I moved out of CT in Aug/Sept. The assessment would be made on Oct 1st. Called Bridgeport Tax Collector today and was asked to show proof of Residence before Oct 1st. I lived in VA as a paying guest and wouldnt have the common residence proof docs. I have my insurance dated from 9/02/04 (not sure if they accept this).

Researched and created an account online for Bridgeport Personal property Taxes - https://bridgeport.pfoil.com/pub/login/?ReturnUrl=%2fapp%2fhome%2fmypayments.as

Was able to locate my personal property by the VIN # and saw the bill. Looks like they were charging for 2 full years till the validity of the registration.

Since ur case is older than myne, what actions did you take at this time?

Appreciate your inputs.

I have been duped by the Taxserv Capital Services who claim that I
owe the city of Danbury personal property tax. I do not, but they now want "proof" of some 5 years ago. They claim there's no statute of limitations. They are nuts.

I'm in the same situation. i just received a notice from Taxcerve Capital Services HD-CT, LLC that I have delinquent motor vehicle due to Hartford CT. the tax is from 1994, i moved from CT to PA in 1995 and sold my car before I left CT in 1995. the amount is around $670 and i never received a notice, bill, anything for the past 14 years! i don't know why it took them almost 14 years to mail this notification even though i've been living at the same add for like 6 years and living in PA for the past 14 years?? i'm so confused. did you end up doing something about your situation?

QCT,



I'm sorry to hear about your situation.. I got my 960odd dollars zeroed
out; Called City of Bridgeport with the Plate# and they said that i
have to show proff of residence where car has been moved to,
registration in new state, and CT plate return receipt. Since i was
living as a paying guest in VA, I didn't have any residence proof, but
was able to show my Tax returns. City of Bridgeport also said that its
my responsibility to inform them of the new address once moved out.
USPS mail forwarding did ni



If i recall right, CT law says that taxes are collectible for 15yrs.
Also read somewhere that if the bill is over 100 dol, city would pass
the bill to Debt collectors. I'm thinking that debt collectors deliberately delay so they can make a ton of money in the form of charges/interest.



Checked online and found couple websites for city of Hartford http://www.hartford.gov/tax/FAQ07.htm

See if you can find an old bill under your name/address/vin#

I’m in the same situation; I moved to AZ and although AZ says they sent CT confirmation that the vehicles were now registered in a different state, CT’s hired tax collector is requiring that I send them proof.

I'm not sure if this changes the statute of limitations but it appears that the City of Danbury has sold off their delinquent property taxes to a third party( July ‘09. See link…

I can’t say for sure if different rules apply to this third party lien holder but collection efforts have recently become more aggressive for me.
